Dog clothes fashion or function?

If there’s ever a doubt as to how much people love their pets, all you need to do is look at the ways they pamper and protect them.  Tiny dogs are carried in large purses like little yipping accessories, replete with diamond collars and chic little sweaters.  Cold weather dogs have boots and coats.  There are even life jackets for dogs that are on the water.  Large dog clothes are so much more commonplace than they used to be.  To me, seeing a little wiener dog in a long sweater is comical, regardless of its necessity.  And sometimes the costumes that animals are made to wear seem like an assault to their dignity.  I guess it depends on the owner and whether they dress the dog for fashion or for utility, or maybe both.  It shows personality, and in my opinion, it shows love.
